Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (HIGH CRY) - Mare comes into this off the best race of her career and it came first off a claim by the leading trainer here(Jamie Ness). Claimed for $16K Jan. 15, she was a very easy winner here at this level on this surface two weeks later. Working fine since and she'll be tough to beat if she repeats her latest effort.

2nd pick: #3 (No Acronyms) - She defeated a field of claimers last out and it came at this distance in her third start back off an 80 day freshening. Her trainer (Jane Cibelli) is having a great meet and Centeno is back aboard. Trainer/jockey team is a good one, winning at a 28% clip.

3rd pick: #5 (Mud Creek) - Actually was bet down as the favorite last out in the same race as "High Cry" but had no answer to that one when they both kicked it in mid-way through the far turn. She did hold down the place spot but was a half-dozen lengths at the finish. Can contend again today, but obviously needs some improvement.
